AWESOME

[Dr. Strange]

1. Ooh, kick ass.

:woohoo:

[MrCoffee]

2. I knew there were Dickheads in here who would be excited by this.

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. You are a bad man.

[Dr. Strange]

13. Or a good replicant.

[Shell Beau]

3. See, that is probably why you are extra smart.

While I am over here scratching my head. :shrug:

[Orrex]

4. Oh shit--Michael Bay is already on board to do the film adaptation:

6. You are a bad man.

BTW, like my sigline?

[Orrex]

12. I've created a monster

I love it!

[MrCoffee]

8. EVIL!

Have you no sense of decency? At long last, have you no sense of decency at all?

[PassingFair]

7. Parts of it have been published in the past:

And yes, I self-identify as a Dickhead.

[Duer 157099]

9. As often is the case with Dickheads...

I'll bet there are a whole bunch of Dickheads, even here on DU, who don't even *know* that they're Dickheads.

[Dr. Strange]

14. Your post is so full of solipsistic goodness...

that the hairs on my back are standing straight up.

[Duer 157099]

16. I didn't mean to, promise.

All I was really saying was that there are so many film and novel adaptations that are based either firmly or loosly on PKD stories but that by and large, people are completely unaware of that fact.

So, they are Dickheads without knowing that they are Dickheads. Just like the other kind of dickheads.

[Dr. Strange]

17. I think you're totally right.

And I think Dick would have gotten a kick out of that on some cosmic irony level.

[ohiosmith]

10. Cool! BTW.......

Deckard is still a replicant.

[unpossibles]

11. awesome. Not only am I a Dickhead

but we share a birthday!

[MilesColtrane]

15. Rumor has it that Harcourt will also release Carl Yung's "Red Book" in a dual anthology.

Evangelist/hypocrite George Rekers is said to be "very interested" in a Yung/Dick release.

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. YAY!!!!!
